Truth: Progressive "Liberals" Can't Handle It

When one studies political history at
the beginning of the 20th century in Europe, the ideas of
Karl Marx becomes the political culture that extends in lesser
ways across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. Although the
regimes of Hitler, Imperial Japan (fascist theocracy), Spain (Franco
regime), and Italy are based on fascism; it is the political ideology
of Benito Mussolini(1883-1945) who is considered the founder of Fascism. Today, in the United States, the so-called

Left and self-proclaimed
'Progressives', called frequently by the media as the 'Left' have
similar ideology.

Of course, it is not identical, but
there are sufficient parallels that make Mussolini's prediction that
the 20th century would be the century of Fascism. The
Soviet Union was created from the Red revolutionists against the
monarchy of Russia, who used the Communist Manifesto, authored
by Marx, as their founding principles. Founders of the Soviet Union
called their movement Bolshevism.

Dictionaries, encyclopedia, and some
historians lump together the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, General
Tojo, and Generalissimo Franco into a single description of fascism –
but this is not true.

Mussolini, for example, in his early
political days, referred to the Russian Bolsheviks as “Socialists”
or social democrats, but they were Marxists; just as Mussolini began
as a socialist. He referred to them as “liberals”, advocates of
laissez faire
ideology. Mussolini published a pamphlet in 1935 that consisted of
words spoken in his earlier political days:

If
the bourgeoisie think they will find lightning conductors in us they
are the more deceived; we must start work at once … We want to
accustom the working class to real and effectual leadership. …
Therefore I desire that this assembly shall accept the revindication
of national trades unionism. When the present regime breaks down, we
must be ready at once to take its place. Fascism has taken up an
attitude of complete opposition to the doctrines of Liberalism, both
in the political field and in the field of economics. The present
method of political representation cannot suffice. Fascism now and
always believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say in actions
influenced by no economic motive. Fascism repudiates the conception
of “economic” happiness. After the war in 1919, Socialism was
already dead as a doctrine: It existed only as a hatred.

Mussolini
was pinpointing and referring to policies and doctrines of his former
Socialist Party, Marxist, that was an extreme form of socialism. The
ideology also spread to Great Britain (UK today) in the form of
Clement Attlee
and the British Labour Party before World War II.

If
the 19th century has been the century of the individual,
for liberalism means individualism, it may be conjectured that this
is the century of the State.

That
prophecy was recorded in the Enciclopedia Italiana,
which was made true by modern Left Progressives who love big
government. In 1900s, the ratio of spending compared to the Gross
National Product in Italy was 10%, the 1950s, 30%; and as of 1998,
about 60%.

Mussolini
rejected Marxist socialism because he disliked class war sociology;
but modern-day Progressives also falsely believe they are different
in political ideology. In the United States, they believe they have
found an American version of democratic socialism that will succeed
where such political ideology and form of government failed.

Mussolini
rejected democracy, just like Lenin and Stalin (Hitler and Mao):

Fascism
denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority,
can direct human society.

In
the Western world, the political movement is to bury democracy
without being as open about it as Mussolini was. Like the American
progressive states about the US Constitution:

Laissez
faire is out of date.

Free
market is blasphemy to progressives.

Mussolini
also wrote of his contempt of the armed forces in his youth, major
hypocrisy considering his regime was a military state and was often
seen in military regalia, especially when visiting with Adolf Hitler.

The
Socialist party reaffirms its eternal faith in the future of the
Workers' International, destined to bloom again, greater and
stronger, from the blood and conflagration of peoples. It is in the
name of the International and of Socialism that we invite you,
proletarians of Italy, to uphold your unshakeable opposition to war.

Today,
progressive socialists march against Wall Street while their leader
in the White House and companions in the US Congress pass bills to
protect business entities that are “too big to fail”; a
phenomenon also enacted by George W. Bush
of the Bush clan
in the GOP. The trade unions have put business into bankruptcy and is part of the unemployment and economic problem. The Obama administration has continued its movement to
denounce the Bush administrations, particularly George
W. Bush,
which recently took form in the Senate report of alleged harsh CIA
interrogations.

In
the Avanti!
article of September 22, 1914, when Mussolini was a Marxist, he
proclaims his agenda:

Our programme is simple. We want
to rule Italy.

Jon J. Ray
points out in his treatise how this is the exact agenda of the
American Left, self-proclaimed Progressives.

At
least Mussolini was up front and honest about his agenda. [Mussolini
ha sempre ragione
- “Mussolini is always right”]

Mussolini
published his Fascist Manifesto
in 1919, which is Fascist policy that is based upon socialism:

The
nationalism of all the arms and explosive factories.

A
strong progressive tax on capital that will truly expropriate a
portion of all wealth.

The
seizure of all the possessions of the religious congregations and
the abolition of all the bishoprics, which constitute an enormous
liability on the Nation and on the privileges of the poor.

The
formation of a National Council of experts for labor, for industry,
for transportation, for the public health, for communications, etc.
Selections to be made from the collective professionals or of
tradesmen with legislative powers, and elected directly to a General
Commission with ministerial powers.

A
minimum wage.

The
participation of workers' representatives in the function of
industry commissions.

Sound
familiar? Check out the Democratic National Platform with the slogan: “Moving America Forward”
(Progressive) and the policies of one Barack
Hussein Obama
(and associates). Written in 2012, notice how the platform brags
about nonexistent political, economic, and social successes.

It
contained several demands that were decidedly radical: A progressive
tax on capital and a tax of eighty-five percent on war profits,
universal franchise for men and women, a national militia, a minimum
wage, nationalization of the munition industries, worker's
participation in the management of industrial enterprises, the
confiscation of all ecclesiastical property.

Mussolini's
ego reigned, conceived and believed that his manifesto was unique and
revolutionary; just like democratic socialists in the United States
today believe they have devised an American form of socialism, a
welfare state, that will not end in economic disaster like
socialist-fascist-communist states have done in the past. It did not
improve the life of the general populace much more than when under
rule of the monarchy.

Mussolini
set the example in his revival of pagan rites, and in October 1928
instituted a ceremony in which patriotic citizens presented their
national savings certificates as a burnt offering on an ancient altar
of Minerva specially brought out of its museum for the purpose.

Mussolini,
in his youth, was a revolutionary socialist, labor union agitator
(jailed like Hitler was), as radical as any Progressive of today. He
became prominent in Marxist circles of Italy, having intimate contact
with Lenin,
a member of Italy's Socialist Party and between 1912 and 1914, editor
of the Italian newspaper, L'Avanti.
After leaving the Socialist Party, he started his own newspaper II
Popolo d'Italia
(the
people of Italy)
and became known as II
Duce
(the
leader).

The
Left movement, particularly during most of the 20th
century, were counter to religion in various degrees. However, major
churches like the Vatican have been won over by the Progressives, yet
denouncing religious validity; usual practiced hypocrisy. In 1929,
Mussolini eased the anxiety of Pope Pius XII
by signing the Lateran Treaty, which continues today that recognizes
the Vatican as a sovereign state. In exchange, Pope Pius accepted
Mussolini and even called him “the man sent by Providence”. The
present Pope Francis is considering beatifying
Pope Pius XII a saint, starting the idea and process in 1967 by Pope
Paul VI, nine years after Pius XII's death.

Adolf Hitler mentioned
Mussolini in his book Mein Kampf,
expressing his admiration and regarded Mussolini as a mentor for
Hitler's National Socialism. Mussolini did not equally admire Hitler,
loathing his murderous personality, specifically his mania about the Jews. He considered the Nazi as barbarians. Remaining
neutral in 1939 and 1940, Mussolini did not join the Nazi war effort
until France collapsed, choosing to be on the perceived winning side.

In
America, the average man has not yet the faintest idea of what
socialism means. It is, therefore, conceivable that the logic of
facts may drive him to into it before he can shrink back in terror.
He has begun to experiment, and when once Americans start moving as a
mass, they are apt to go at a hot and headlong pace. If ever they do
it, they will stumble into socialism unconsciously. It will be the
consequence of their actions and not the conclusion of their
reasoning. And when it is realized, they will believe it is an
American invention patented in 1933.

The
Supreme Court unanimously ruled FDR's National Recovery
Administration unconstitutional [Schechter
Poultry vs US,
295 US 495 (1935)]. And again the following year
the Supreme Court ruled FDR's Agricultural Adjustment Act
unconstitutional [Butler
vs US,
297 US (1936)], stating that the AAA was 'a
central government exercising uncontrolled police power in every
state of the union.

That
Supreme Court decision enraged
FDR as well as the Congressional Democrats:

As
a result of this reaction, several constitutional amendments were
introduced into Congress in 1936, including one that would require a
two-thirds vote of the Court whenever an act of Congress was declared
unconstitutional; another that would permit Congress to revalidate
federal laws previously declared unconstitutional by repassing them
with a two-thirds vote of both houses, and even one that would
abolish altogether the Court's power to declare federal laws
unconstitutional.

Today, BH Obama continues the march that FDR and Woodrow Wilson created, aided by J. Carter and Lyndon Johnson. They are a partia list of politicians who have engineered policies (and society) into the progressive movement towards socialism. FDR had gained enough political power
and popularity of the people that he began the process of eliminating
the check and balance system, which is the foundation of the American
Constitutional Republic. Upon his re-election, FDR began the process
of packing the Supreme Court. The New Deal, like Obamacare,
had negative affects and did not do what was promised. Massive tax
increases took place and new taxes were engineered, which destroyed
job potential and prolonged unemployment, the product of the Great
Depression. Cato Institute publication:

For
defenders of the New Deal, perhaps the most embarrassing revelation
about New Deal spending programs is they channeled money AWAY from
the South, the poorest region in the United States. The largest share
of New Deal spending and loan programs went to political "swing"
states in the West and East - where incomes were at least 60% higher
than in the South. As an incumbent, FDR didn't see any point giving
much money to the South where voters were already overwhelmingly on
his side.

In
1937, Republicans and Southern Democrats formed a Conservative
Coalition and released the Conservative Manifesto
with a 10-point plan:

1. Immediate revision of
taxes on capital gains and undistributed profits in order to free
investment funds.2. Reduced expenditures to achieve a balanced
budget, and thus, to still fears deterring business expansion.3.
An end to coercion and violence in relations between capital and
labor.4. Opposition to “unnecessary” government competition
with private enterprise.5. Recognition that private investment
and enterprise require a reasonable profit. 6. Safeguarding the
collateral upon which credit rests.7. Reduction of taxes, or if
this proved impossible at the moment, firm assurance of no further
increases.8. Maintenance of state rights, home rule, and local
self-government, except where proved definitely inadequate.9.
Economical and non-political relief to unemployed with maximum local
responsibility.10. Reliance upon the
American form of government and the American system of enterprise.

In
1933, FDR became president and from 1933 to 1936 government expense
increased 83%. Sound familiar? He also confiscated gold and made it
illegal for Americans to own gold, which caused gold prices to
double.

FDR's
popularity got him leeway with the press, which reminds us of the
mainstream media of today. Bill Whittle
presents an examination of political correctness.

Juan Peron,
an Argentina dictator was a disciple of Mussolini, and indeed, after
WWII was coming to an end, welcomed Fascists, mostly Nazi war
criminals, to the country of Argentina.

Democratic
socialism and its hypocrisy that has gripped the United States over
the decades:

Racism
that was prominent in the 1930s has not been relegated to history;
except that the racism is reversed, based upon a victim mentality and
using race instead of qualifications in the world of politics. It is
part of the political correctness society, something that Obama
promised to fix in 2008.

I
end this with a video concerning journalism, published by PJ Media on
the premise: “Who can handle the truth?” …

No doubt that the GOP requires some serious reformation concerning their political platform - meaning they need to start acting and thinking like Republicans and quit worrying about compromising the corrupt opposition; especially at the expense of US Constitution. We do not need another Bush, nor do we need the complacency of Mitt Romney.

We need constitutionalists who abide by their oaths of office; people who believe in the principles of the Tea Party movement and not denounce Tea Party members as "radicals". If standing by and protecting the Constitution and the sovereignty of the United States is radical - we need more of it.
